Alright, maybe I should write into Savage Love with this, but I’m having what I hope isn’t a serious problem when I have sex. I lose condoms. After a round of passionate lovemaking, it is not unknown for the condom to come completely off me and become stuck. Now, I can usually retrive it afterwords, but I’m rather worried about the implications of this. My GF is on the birth control pill as added security and both of us are monogomous, but I’d still like to know what, if anything, I’m doing wrong. I have no technique complaints from her, and both of our sets of equipment are well within standard deviations, and I’ve been using both Trojan Polyurethene and Durex condoms. First, is this a pizza-testicles question, and if it’s not, how can I stop this?
Are you unrolling it all the way down? Can you see the serial numbers? If you aren’t rolling it down all the way to avoid hairs getting stuck in it, shave around the base.
Good luck!
Usually? Otherwise?
Condoms are meant to stay on hard penises. After you are done, you probably are caught up with enjoying being inside (not that I blame you) while your penis shrinks, and then the condom comes loose. If you want to use a condom you should probably pull out soon after you are over. You could also try one of the techniques that is supposed to keep you harder longer (like the tight squeeze right before you’d normally climax), which can prolong the sex in general and most likely keep you semi-hard for slightly longer than normal after it is over. Of course every guy’s reactions vary a bit, so you may need to experiment to see what works best for you.
And, yeah, make sure you got it on all the way and that it’s quite tight. You could experiment with other brands too, some are probably tighter than others (which also probably keeps you harder longer).
Have you tried using a rubber band?
Um… “pizza-testicles”?
Search is failing me, and I don’t want to keep bothering the hamsters.
A high-post-count, well-respected member of the board asked, in GQ, why eating nothing but pizza for two days made your testicles hurt so much. And then looked on, in horror, as poster after poster assured him that he’s the only one with this problem.

Larry Mudd. I can’t find it either, but it was damned funny.
seven days on either side of day 15 avoiding sex (yes you are correct with her period that does only leave one open week per month, and even that’s not a lock. Is it any wonder that I’m writing prostitution/swing threads on the net?). Sometimes we will have sex inside this “window” using condoms and I have also experienced the same thing. One time we actually lost the darn thing and I feared our 160 pound Mastiff (who sleeps at the foot of the bed) had eaten the darn thing ( I was ready to have him put down for being a digusting animal). However, the next morning we found the condom under the bed.
Got it, thanks.
Now, why the hell “pizza testicles GQ, from the past year” came up blank, I have no idea.

Watch out for those Trojan polyurethane ones… they have a distressing tendency to shred in my experience. Something like 3 out of 9 have broken or ripped on me.
Which is unfortunate, because they really do feel GOOD, compared to normal condoms.
Better suggestion than my first idea: staples.
Same thing happened a couple of times until I learned the “pull out when finished, and make sure you grap it” trick.
The problem with staples is they make holes in the condom, which defeats the whole purpose. Therefore, I reccomend some quick-dry epoxy resin.
Side note: some people only apply condoms when they think that ejaculation is “close”. My best friend did that, he was wrong, his daughter was conceived shortly after.
Condoms are nothing but a physical barrier between fluids/organs that are involved in sexual intercourse. Such barriers can, and will be, circumvented eventually. Otherwise, we’d have guilt-free sex.
Remember that immediately after coitus, you need to remove your spooge-sac. That means right away. You can be as “carefull” as you want, but your little swimmers aren’t done working 'til they’re dead. Your GF should respect this, after all, she’s the one that’s going to be pregnant if things don’t go so well.
Bottom line: keep your fluids to yourself, untill you’re either ready to start a family, or feel like gambling on getting a horrible disease. Condoms do not ensure protection of any kind.
Also, try a larger penis.
I don’t know of any pregnancies among my circle of friends when people took full and proper precautions involving safe sex.
This involves best condoms, right size, properly using them, and take all precautions to ensure they dont get inside her.
If you be smart about it, it can be guilt free sex. (Unless someone wants to scare the shit out of me and prove me wrong).
I had the same problem as the OP, also when using Durex. Try different brands - it’s surprising just how differently they fit. Durex never felt secure enough around the base, which I guess is why they rolled up when they weren’t supposed to.
"At the end of the study period, calculating all factors, the researchers found: The risk of pregnancy in the polyurethane condom group was approximately 9 percent, while the rate in the latex condom group was 5.4 percent. Slippage and breakage rates for the polyurethane group were 8.4 percent, compared to 3.2 percent for the latex group. "
From this site.
5-9%, (sometimes more depending on who you ask) is not as low as I’d like it to be. Although realatively low, I’d still keep it in mind.
As your gf is on the pill then she is not ovulating on day 15. The pill prevents ovulation and stopping the pill (taking the red ones, placebos) brings on an ‘artificial’ period about 2-3 days later. It is not necessary for you to only have sex that one week of the month. It is possible to skip the placebos and just start the next pack without having a period with no harmful side effects. I found that I could only do that for 2 months and then would have to have a period otherwise I got breakthrough bleeding, but some of my friends could go up to 4 months without a period. It is a good idea to use condoms but I have no experience with losing them, I’m afraid. The pill is 99% effective as birth control if taken correctly, so I think you may be being overly cautious.
Aforementioned GF checking in here.
I know that the Pill is highly effective, but I’m not taking your usual Pill. I’m taking something called Seasonale, which gives you an artificial period every 3 months instead of the usual monthly cycle. Also, a friend of my mom’s is expecting a little bundle with his girlfriend…who was also taking Seasonale. I’m terrified of having a baby and not being able to raise the child in good standing (as in, being able to feed/clothe/shelter him or her). However, sex is an activity that robertliguori and I enjoy very much.
Anyway, if my birth control is highly effective, and condoms are also rather effective, then I’m doubly insured against having a baby, right?
Thanks for the concern though. 
An 18 year old friend of mine recently had a baby - and she was on birth control AND used a condom. So using both isn’t gonna guarantee that you aren’t going to become pregnant.
